    I posted this in Discord but it got quickly lost from a couple of people I had to shout at, so lets get this in the right format!

    I have never written the Job Description for any roles on PirateCraft, but I think that may help people with the tasks that are expected, since we are now in need of a new Build Leader (To help find and run an entire build team(s)) This is a rough idea from my head of what we are looking for in a Housewright.

    Job Description Roles for Housewright

    1. A vision of each build project, so they have a clear idea of what needs to be made, and can visualise the final product in their head.
    2. Be able to organise all documents to keep track of who’s doing what over what time period, Google Docs/Spreadsheet of builds, who’s working on what, break it up into sub-projects, we even have a whole hosted “issue tracking/project management” software that isn’t being use if that was the way you wanted to mange it all, Forum threads for the public in https://piratemc.com/forums/community-build-projects/ to keep a changelog for each project, so everyone knows where you are at separate from your internal tracking documents (Like I do with changelogs, but you could have 1 thread per project and just update it with the changes made).
    3. Organise times people can work together and decide what to work on for them
    4. Have jobs for people to complete when they have not come together to work, so have that to-do document with jobs listed for people, assign people to tasks.
    5. Have a time-frame to get thing complete by like a real project manager.
    6. Hire new builders, sack useless builders, trial builders on the creative server, you will have full control to promote and demote the craftsman rank.
    7. Be able to speak on Teamspeak/Discord Voice chat, context gets lost in text and working fast in teams is easier with voice communication, this will also build a relationship between builders & manager.

    Notes on structure & teams of build teams

    What didnt work before was throwing a bunch of Craftsmen together that had different ideas and didnt get along, so were technically looking for one person to overlook absolutely everything as housewright manage all documents and public face, and then have more build leaders under this that then have their own little build team, it could be 1-2 people or it could be 10 people that you work well with, that will be the key! For instance some admins are curious to run a small team for a project, but don’t have the time to do all the managing & documenting everything to make sure projects don’t fall behind or forgotten (Or take years), so someone still needs to take responsibility overall, this could also be a joint effort between two people, you would have to be able to work together as a team, i’m open to all ideas.

    Definition of Project Manager

    As a project manager it is your responsibility to deliver projects on time and in budget, by planning and organising resources and people. You’ll need to track work to be completed, set deadlines and delegate tasks to the project team, identifying any potential risks.

    How Do I apply?

    We are not sure how to measure all these values for an applicant, so Im not sure what kind of form to create, so for now, applying in this forum thread will be the primary method, make sure to subscribe to this forum thread if you are interested, then any changes/updates will be notified to you, I guess this will act as an open, public audition (Not the best idea) until the staff can figure out how to find these values from a form!

    What perks are included in this role?

    If this is the first thing you thought of when you read this, you are not who we are looking for, don’t reply.

    Projects that need completing (That I can remember, there are so many)

    Survival

    1. /warp west (Started by previous build team on test server)
    2. /warp north
    3. /spawn tutorials, this has a solid idea/plan in my head that I will need to explain in detail.
    4. Move /warp donate to where the cove ship shop is, and expand greatly under the cove with 100x more detail than the crappy one I built atm.
    5. /warp shop7
    6. The other shop market warps, one at a time after 7 is done.

    Oof I’m in.

    I would love to try out.

    So my in-game name is Astro_2, and I am a firstmate in PirateMc, currently in the crew SPQR. I have been playing for over 2 years, and I have really wanted to find a way to help the server, I think this could be my chance. I love helping new players and I think that creating improved warps and whatnot would contribute to that. I think I am fairly good at visualizing the final product of buildings both in my head, and on paper. But I am going to be blatantly honest with you, I am not the best builder, as in if I want to build something nice, it will take me several tries. Nonetheless, if I get chosen I will be 100% committed to and determined in accomplishing whatever is necessary.

    Nice Application. May want to edit in some details into that one bud, something we could work with? All posts that are just like “im in!” “Ill do it” etc are just going to be ignored.

    This seems like a very interesting job. I might be interested in it. I love building and have played allot. I would greatly like to help even if it is just as part of the team of builders. Im working on allot of builds such as the Tower of Orthanc from Lord of the Rings, The Isengard University, a Awsome Cathedral, and some Japanese castles. I don’t think I would want to be Directly in charge but I would love to be in a support role whatever that may be. Im still learning allot about architectural and landscaping and how to make builds look better. I would love to be able to help in anyway possible.

    Just some questions. Will we be taught any building tips or be working with MC pros etc. It would be awesome if I could advance my building techniques beyond the simple ones I have made so far. I look online and I want to be able to bring some of the awesome ideas I see here. Can we request certain parts to work on? I think my greatest strengths are looking at a building and being able to see how its built and recreating as that is what allot of my builds have been and also landscaping which is fun ,but still need some work on. I also think I’m pretty good at coming up with ideas if its exterior or interior of builds. Decorations placing of items etc. Also functionality. What is the purpose of this build or what can we do to make it more player interactive like a area for ridding horse around etc.

    I hope to hear from hear from you soon and perhaps become a member of this great new team.

    Sincerely, VladDracul aka CountMonteCristo

    No idea about being taught, but following guides will be a must, if you’re building a small town you cant have 5 different building styles, so when a project is being talked over part of the planning will be research and setting build schemes, like woods used, colours used, following specific guidelines, I guess this will come natural when working in a team.

    The key here is being able to organize things well, and have a level of consistency.

    We’re not trying to make this feel like a burden for you, but if you enjoy building in groups, this might be a thing for you! After all, this isn’t a real job, its a volunteer job on a bloody minecraft server – pick the people you want to work with, be creative, and enjoy yourself. Its a fun thing to do, not for everyone, but I really enjoyed it.

    I have wanted to be part of the staff on this server since I first joined. I would consider myself a decent builder and a have good deal of free time. Not sure how well I would do in this position but I would be willing to give it a trial run? I could post some pictures of my older builds that I have done, I haven’t built anything solid for a while. This is the only server I play on anymore and it would be awesome to be one of the people building it up.

    I’ve been on a professional build team, and I managed my own subgroup whilst I was part of it so I’d love to help out. I would consider myself a decent builder and I’m pretty good at organizing people that I’m working with.  I also have some experience with WorldMachine/WorldPainter, so I could create custom terrain if need be.

    For examples of my (Dissolved) build team’s builds, check out:

    https://www.planetminecraft.com/member/team_sublis/

    For builds that I built by myself, check out

    and

    Thanks for your Consideration!

    Previous post got deleted? I may have edited it too often.

    BACKGROUND

    I was a member/sub manager for the now defunct Team Sublis. While I was a member of this team, I was exposed to countless build styles and was able to hone my WorldMachine/ WorldPainter skills. After an argument with the team leader (he was withholding pay for builds that had already sold), the team dissolved and I was left on my own. After that, I moved to a “friend’s” server, where I was Co-Manager of the build team alongside another player. We got into an argument, words were said, I quit. Since then, I’ve done various spawns/shops/terrains for friends/clients, but nothing with another team.

    APP.

    Now that I’ve been on my own for several years, I’d like to rejoin a build team. The things that one gains while working with other players is a useful and utterly fantastic experience.

    I’ve played on this server for a long time now. I’ve seen empires rise, and I’ve seen them fall. I’ve seen towns built from the ground up, and I’ve seen towns razed to bare dirt. I believe that this sort of experience will be a helpful tool in building for this fantastic server. It’s important for people to remember their history, and it would be interesting to see how we could tie that into builds on PirateMC.

    I’d like to offer my services to this server as either a Manager, Co-Manager, or Builder. Anything that works for you works for me.

    EXPERIENCE

    I have basic/above average knowledge and skills in:

    • WorldPainter
    • WorldMachine
    • VoxelSniper
    • WorldEdit
    • Managing Players
    • Managing Large-Scale Projects
    • Applying Real World Ideas into Minecraft Builds

    BUILDS

    I know this isn’t much to do with the application- BUT.

    On the creative server, people can build pretty much what they want in their plot of land, I also know that certain builds in the World are lacking or are in the need of “pzazz”.

    I thought maybe it could be a good idea if people were to build buildings, ornamental builds etc to be placed in public areas, warp events etc.

    Those used could lead to said player getting a small cash reward (like £20-50) as though they’ve been paid ‘royalties’ towards it. Those player’s who’ve had their builds used could be put in a draw also for a prize of some sorts (though it would need quite a few people).

     

    These builds could also be randomly spawned in the over world, or placed there by staff, as sort of “Easter Eggs”. I could imagine an assortment of statues, sunken ships, ruins and what not being spawned on the sea bed to as a sort of curiosities, which I’m sure people would enjoy recovering and reassembling in their claims or for use in public/private museums/collections.

    Perhaps things as strange as my Dylan the Scorpion BOTM be world-edited in random places, I know I for one would feel complimented if I saw a small build of mine used in some sort of event like the Halloween event so I’m sure others would too, and random little builds in the middle of no where which invite curiosity or a smile to a player travelling in through the world would be a great addition to the server.

    Things like random pumpkin farms or giant pumpkins made out of pumpkins in the middle of nowhere for Halloween or a Christmas Tree farms, snowmen popping up for Christmas would be interesting too- of course if they’re claimed by a player don’t remove them, if they’re not do.

    Perhaps not stupidly large builds start appearing, like entire Indiamans or Forts which span 10 chunks. But I think it could definitely invite more interest, especially with the underwater update hopefully coming soon to the server, then underwater landscape/curiosities to be built would provide a further incentive for underwater exploration.

    I know I for one right now am not cut out for a position on the build team, but I wouldn’t mind building small curiosities like statues, houses, small forts, block creatures, strange looking trees etc. Pretty much anything, and small little jokes/messages could be hidden as well in them like signs with a quote or joke.

    Anyway, I’ll stop talking now and start building my randomonium.

    I was previously a Build Team Member until the whole “rank” went dark. To be honest, I did not do much with my position, mainly because I never knew what projects were available to work on. I would like to rejoin this position (Build Team Member), hopefully to work more on the server WITH the server. Not sure if I am entirely fit for the rank of “Housewright”, given my current schedule and inability to properly lead projects, but I would be honored to work under the guidance of someone with the Housewright position. If I am chosen to be a Housewright, then give me a list of things to do, and I will comply without question (Unless if that list includes inappropriate and illegal contents, which I know wouldn’t happen… right?).

    As for what I can do… Well I value structure and THEN detail, (can’t make a scenic building if you can’t use it properly) I am usually better at designing homes, but I am expanding into larger-scale projects. I have both TS and Discord. I would like to say that I am somewhat organized, but everyone has flaws, and heaven forbid that I think I don’t. I am experimenting with WorldPainter, if that is something we’ll be using in future projects (BGraph, hit me up, I could use some guidance in that). I am usually pretty chill and open-minded to any and all ideas, often throwing my own ideas on the table, seeing possible flaws in both options and choosing which is the best, or how we can improve on either.

    Either way, I am willing to help out to the best of my ability, any position you give me, Member, Housewright, or Neither, I’ll accept. Whatever your reply is, I can’t wait to see what we come up with next, and I’ll still be there to assist at command.

    … Oh am I done? *Reads note card* Oh… I am. Well, laters.

    Oh, and my in-game tag is PoisonedPine, okay bye.

    I... I've got nothing... Carry on.

    haha I legit edited out part of my thread including something pretty much identical to this, the creative was created specifically for that purpose to create re-usable “objects” in a clean environment with full control to the builders.

    Creative still needs:

    • Being able to copy schematics between creative & test server (copy of the main world for putting things into existing terrain)
    • I want to create multiple worlds on the creative, worlds that are normal terrain, as flatland sucks!

    You have pretty much just explained another project I want to do in a new world, except I edited it out as I thought it was too much for this thread and would go off topic, if you have some time ping me on Discord, as I need some help trying to figure something out with it all Palmer, maybe if you have some time we could figure it out together.
